"One can hope, and that's a good thing" Kakashi bowed his head in a small nod, then favored Itachi with a grin, for once not hidden behind a dark layer of fabric. "But we both know preparation goes a great deal farther than hope." Despite their best laid plans going horribly awry to date, Kakashi needed Itachi to believe that they weren't truly powerless, as much as he needed to believe it himself.
Had the issue been resolved? Kakashi glanced away from the weight of Itachi's eyes on him, looking at the pile of his clothes. "If you hadn't been here, I'd be dead." The others had likely noticed his absence, attributing it to Kakashi's chronic lateness and tendency to keep his personal matters private. He'd worked hard to develop the mask, and before Vegas, his students had no reason to think anything different lay beneath.
And speaking of masks, Kakashi raised his eyebrows in sudden realization. "Ah, that's right. This is the first time you've seen my face." Otherwise useless trivia that explained the odd way Itachi watched him now. The excuse satisfied Kakashi, though he unconsciously ran the tip of his tongue over his lips. Was it normal to be thirsty after such...activities?
